Can Religion Contribute to Development? The Road from `Truth' to `Trust' |
Type de document : |
texte imprimé |
Auteurs : |
Ruben Ruerd, Auteur |
Année de publication : |
2011 |
Article en page(s) : |
pp. 225-234. |
Langues : |
Anglais (eng) |
Résumé : |
Religion has played a rather ambivalent role in the study of development. This can partly be attributed to the common emphasis on its role for providing insurance and risk reduction. Current challenges for enhancing poverty alleviation in settings of civic conflict increasingly ask attention for social mediation and new identity building. Religion can then become a key driver for supporting bridging and linking networks. This requires, however, that epistemological attention shifts from the study of `truth' to the understanding of `trust'. |

Religion, Development and Insecurity : Looking for Root Causes in An Ambiguous Relationship |
Type de document : |

Peter Kanyandago, Auteur |
Année de publication : |

Article en page(s) : |
pp. 235-256. |
Langues : |
Anglais (eng) |
Résumé : |
The general attitude and appreciation in regard to religion and development, and matters related to God is a positive one. It is also true that religion in its different forms has contributed towards human development. However, it is also true that religion has either directly promoted violence or has indirectly given rise to it. The article sets out to explain what could be the root causes of this situation by using a theoretical approach based on Fukuyama. It is argued that the dominant religious and developmental systems which are products of the current Western worldview generally do not give value to what is different from them. This is applied to the violence found in The Movement of the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God which had its base at Kanungu in Uganda. Negation of cultural and religious can be seen as one of the root causes of some violence and insecurity in the world without forgetting that each society has its own form of violence. The article suggests that if religion and development are to promote security they must respect and promote differences and diversity in cultures and nature. |

Shifting Positions between Anthropology, Religion and Development : The Case of Christianity |
Type de document : |
texte imprimé |
Auteurs : |
Sjaak van der Geest (1943- ....), Auteur |

pp. 257-273. |

Anglais (eng) |
Résumé : |
Anthropologists in Africa used to have an ambivalent relationship with missionary Christianity and international development work. Being active in the same areas but with different intentions reinforced mutual stereotypes and added to the uneasiness. This seems to be changing now. Christianity has passed its missionary stage and is now an African religion, interesting to study for anthropologists and `applied anthropology' allows anthropologists to make their discipline more meaningful and relevant to today's world. The involvement of medical anthropologists in health development is a case in point. |

Résumé : |
This contribution explores the historical relation between mission studies and development studies, and the contributions of mission studies to development studies. The author argues that mission studies contributes to the debate on religion and development in two ways, by the conceptual clarification of the notions religion and development, and by adding a dialogical methodology that studies the relation between religion and development from within and from below. |
